These men have surrounded my house and are waving big yellow metal sticks over the ground. They woke me up from my 2 hour nap. Not appreciated. It kinda reminded me of when I was living with Christina in Chattanooga and the night painter would come. He was painting the outside of her house, but only under the cloak of darkness. He would shine huge spot lights on the side, prop his ladder up and climb so he could see right over the curtains that covered the bottom half of her floor to ceiling windows. Then he would just say there for 30 minutes, having a full view of Christina's apartment and whatever we were doing. We debated whether to leave the room, or stake our ground and continue doing whatever we were doing before he joined us. Do you acknowledge someone when they do that? Wave from the couch? Try to carry on a conversation with him through sign language? Or just stare at him until he feels so uncomfortable that he gets off his ladder?
He ran us out of the apartment a lot. We would go out to dinner just to get away from the night painter. Or Christina would come home from work late just to find me in a bad mood stuck in the kitchen because he was in the living room.
His finished work was not the best quality, as you can expect from someone who just paints in the dark.
